stackPanelFlasher.Background = Brushes.Aqua;

How can I set the color as a hex color code for example #C7DFFC?

BrushConverter bc = new BrushConverter();  
stackPanelFlasher.Background=  (Brush)bc.ConvertFrom("#C7DFFC");

Should do the job. If you want to make it waterproof, better would be 

BrushConverter bc = new BrushConverter();  
Brush brush=(Brush)bc.ConvertFrom("#C7DFFC"); 
brush.Freeze();
stackPanelFlasher.Background=brush;

needs fewer resources...
